The code of "Le Petit Prince"

I began reading a relatively new English translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince)" to the girls for "bedtime story" last night.
It's the first time I have read the book as an adult, and each page carries the force of revelation for me.
Like the best films or songs, "Le Petit Prince" becomes deeper the move you delve into it.
The story sounds like a relatively simple tale of a small extraterrestrial on the surface, but us grown-ups who can read between the lines find something far more meaningful.
When we consider the book's meaning, "Le Petit Prince" becomes a compact guide to life. Memorable instructions seem to leap off every page:
"It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man."
I pause every so often to consider Saint-Exupéry's wise words. I hope the girls don't mind.
Actually, I will probably borrow "Le Petit Prince" from the girls after we have concluded our initial, bedtime reading. I think this little book could teach me some important lessons.
